lyrics

First there is confusion can't distinguish
Where you are from where you've been
What's your major weakness who's
The competition are they closing in
Inevitable submission to the rational
In the absence of belief
Delicate equilibrium of the structure
And the chaos underneath
Gradual decrescendo to surrender
Like a victim in the snow
Everyone still remembers how they captured
You and chose to let you go

Echoing in the distance comes the cruelest
Message mortals ever heard
Suffering from exhaustion you become
The perfect vessel for the word
Terrible excitement and a swelling
Of contempt inside your breast
Predictable parabola you are
The sum of all that you ingest
Singular intersection like the nexus
Of the scalpel and the nerve
Deepening understanding that the enemy
May not get what they deserve
Did you hear a rumor like a sickness
Spreading just below your skin
Next there is confusion can't distinguish
Where you are from where you've been
